Radio Problems

Ever since I got my car (when I got it used). No stations come in clear in the radio except for this gay country station. I unscrewed my antenna and sprayed some wd40 in it and cleaned the connectors. Still the radio didn't work well. What could it be? It has a stock cd player so I doubt it's the antenna connection into the cd player. What do you all think?

Thanks

to elaborate, I can here some music or w/e what's playing but there's all this static. When I put in a cd it's as clear as glass.

take out the antenna and does it make a diff on the radio? and if it does , the wire is probably unpluged, or it might be that ur antenna is to small

it's a stock antenna. i took it off and it made a slight diff. maybe not even at all. even w/out the antenna that block thing the antenna is screwed into still picks up decent signal. it's like a cell phone when you take out your antenna. not gonna make the world of diff. but I'm kinda reluctant to take out my cd player just to find out that its prob not that. they havent done aftermarket work on the cars sound system. so its wierd.
